Hunted

A monster-hunter is sent out to fetch a city girl from the monster-plagued frontier, but neither could anticipate how much danger they were really in.

When Ashton Lowe took the job to protect a wealthy man's sister heading from the dangers of the frontier, the mission sounded simple enough. It didn't help that she had been alone out there for two days already by the time Arthur contacted him--all it meant was a price hike, though. How much trouble could she get into in two days and change?

Cora Little had no business being alone out West, and she knew it. That didn't change her mother's cryptic final words to her, or the unshakeable feeling that she was still out there. When handsome Ashton Lowe shows up with a gun on his hip claiming to be there to bring her back to Detroit, that doesn't change anything. He's there to keep her safe, after all, whether that's on the way back to her brother, or on her way up the mountain. She didn't count on a territorial Devil causing trouble--for Cora and the townsfolk both.

Thankfully, her brother hired the right man for the job, and it doesn't take much to dispatch the creature and earn Cora the time to search for her mother to no avail.

Little do either of them know, that is just the beginning of their problems...
